问题  
In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decision makes for equality, and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather than by the "battle of the sexes".
    If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important, things will be as badly off as before. What we need is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. We have almost given up saying that a woman’ s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’ s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place in it.
    The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems. Excessive authoritarianism has unhappy consequences. The ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is relevant not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the passage you have just heard.
22. What is the best title for this passage?
23. According to the author, what is the father’ s role in the home?
24. How does the author describe the consequences of excessive authoritarianism in the home?
25. Which of the following would the author most agree with?

选项 A、Males are basically opposed to sharing household chores.
B、A healthy, co-operative family is a basic ingredient of a healthy society.
C、Division of household responsibilities is not workable in practice.
D、A woman’ s place is in the home—now as always.

答案 B

解析 细节辨认题。通观全文,作者始终认为在家庭中两性角色应该平等。选项A、C都是不平等的表现,故不正确。作者在文中还指出We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home.故选项D也不正确。所以选B。
